“…Although CO 2 is commonly used as a quenching gas for wire chambers and Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors, its photon absorption energy range differs from that of i-C 4 H 10 . While this represents a short-term solution, further research is ongoing to identify a complete replacement for R-134a [13].…”

This research investigates the viability of replacing greenhouse gases C2H2F4 and SF6 with eco-friendly gas mixtures in Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors used at CERN LHC experiments. The study focuses on the addition of CO2 as a substitute of C2H2F4 to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and reduce operational costs. Initial performance studies with cosmic muons evaluate key parameters such as efficiency, current, streamer probability, prompt charge, cluster size, and time resolution of the detectors. Subsequent assessments take place at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility, emulating the LHC experiment background radiation. Furthermore, the study explores alternatives to SF6, including 3M NOVECTM 4710 and AMOLEATM 1224yd, presenting perforances results about these gas alternatives in High Pressure Laminate RPCs.
